1 Brexit and the UK Labour Market Jonathan Wadsworth Royal Holloway College, CEP LSE, CReAM UCL, MAC and IZA Bonn
2 Forecasting the likely consequences of a UK exit from the EU is fraught with difficulties There are so many policy options, institutional factors and their interactions that determine labour market performance that are as yet unknown and may play out in different ways, (Eg visa quotas, residency requirements, corporate behaviour, trade agreements, reaction in other countries) Focus instead on what did happen Knowing where we are may be a pointer to what might happen if policy went into reverse
3 How economists think about the decision to migrate Move if (perceived) benefits > (perceived) costs Compare Benefits Wages Employment Prospects Costs Housing Costs Entry Costs Visas, Quotas, accreditation Assimilation (language, institutions) Welfare in home country with those elsewhere (not just UK)
4 0 yearly flows (thousands) The result of those decisions manifests in movement of peoples in and out of each country Net Immigration to the UK Rising for more than 20 years All Annual Flows 2015 Yearly Inflows 600,00 Yearly Outflows 300,000 Net Immigration (Inflows Outflows) 300,000 Source: LTIM ONS year Net Migration Emigration Immigration

21 Any evidence that immigration affects wage and employment prospects of UK- born? Many people worry about rising immigration because they think this means competition for jobs and puts downward pressure on wages. This tends to neglect the fact that rising immigration raises demand (for food, clothes etc) and so it is not a given that employment or wages of UK nationals will fall. That said, estimating the causal effects of rising EU immigration is not an easy task. Any estimate is also likely to be an average that conceals losses and gains for some. The graphs below are therefore just suggestive of the likely link between EU immigration and the unemployment and wage rates of UK-born workers.
22 UK-Born Unemployment Rate Graph compares change in unemployment rates for UK-born with Change in immigrant share in each county over same period Red line suggests little association between unemployment rates and pace of immigration % Change in County Immigrant Share local area Values Fitted Value UK-Born Unemployment Rate Graph compares change in unemployment rates for UK-born with Change in EU-Born immigrant share in each county over same period % Change in County EU-Born Immigrant Share If anything red line suggests statistically significant negative association ie uk-born unemployment rates rose least in areas with lots of EU-immigration local area Values Fitted Value
23 UK-Born Unemployment Rate Now do same for the recovery period Graph now compares change in unemployment rates for UK-born with Change in immigrant share in each county over same period Red line suggests little association in upturn % Change in County Immigrant Share local area Values Fitted Value UK-Born Unemployment Rate (a negative slope would now mean unemp. rates fell more in areas with larger growth in immigration share) Graph compares change in unemployment rates for UKborn with Change in EU-Born immigrant share in each county over same period Red line again suggests little association in upturn % Change in County EU-Born Immigrant Share local area Values Fitted Value
24 UK-Born Real Wages: Now do same for real wages Graph compares % change in real wage rates for UKborn with change in immigrant share in each county over same period Red line suggests statistically insignificant - though negative - association between wage rates and pace of immigration % Change in local area Immigrant Share local area Values Fitted Value UK-Born Real Wages: Graph compares change in unemployment rates for UKborn with Change in EU-Born immigrant share in each county over same period Again statistically insignificant negative association with EU rates of immigration % Change in local area EU-Born Immigrant Share local area Values Fitted Value
25 UK-Born Real Wages: Now do same for real wages in the upturn % Change in local area Immigrant Share local area Values Fitted Value UK-Born Real Wages: Graph compares % change in real wage rates for UKborn with change in immigrant share in each county over same period Red line now suggests statistically insignificant positive association between wage rates and pace of immigration ie wage rates for UK-born grew most in areas where immigration grew most Graph compares change in unemployment rates for UKborn with Change in EU-Born immigrant share in each county over same period Again little statistically insignificant negative - association with EU rates of immigration % Change in local area EU-Born Immigrant Share local area Values Fitted Value
26 So what are we to conclude? Little evidence of large adverse labour market effects on the UK-born population of rising EU immigration. Nor is there much evidence of large gains. Leaving the EU might attenuate population growth (and hence GDP), but would not make much difference to the welfare bill (net of tax revenues) but the effects on the labour market are just not that easy to divine without more details on the type of institutions and regulations that would emerge in the wake of a UK exit.

28 Rules on UK Citizenship Children born in the UK to citizens of the European Economic Area may be British citizens depending on when they were born. Children born: From 1 January 1983 to 2 October 2000 will be British citizens if either parent was living in the UK at the time; From 2 October 2000 to 29 April 2006 will only be British citizens if at least one parent had obtained indefinite leave to remain or the unconditional right to permanent residence in the UK prior to the birth; On or after 30 April 2006 will be British citizens if at least one parent lived in the UK continuously for five years pursuant to their rights under European law prior to the birth The LFS 2015 suggests that there are 500,000 individuals born in the UK who are EU rather than British citizens
